Mohpani Coalfield Tramway
Mohpani Coalfield one of the four coalfields forming the Pench Kahan Coalfield, located in the Chindwara Distrtict [1]. The coal field was established by the 'Nerbudda Coal and Iron Company' in 1861 and in late 1868 a broad gauge(BG) tramway was constructed linking to the Great Indian Peninsula Railway(GIPR) [2] at Gadarwara station about 20km to the north of the coalfield.
In 1905 the GIPR purchased the coalfield and at this time the records show track, locomotives and wagons of both broad gauge(BG) and narrow gauge(NG) [2].
The later history of the coalfield and the equipment is unknown.
